Application Programming Interface (API)

An API, or application programming interface, is a set of defined rules that enable different applications to communicate with each other.

Within the payments sector, an API serves as an integration method that outlines how computers on both the customer’s and merchantr’s ends manage communication with a banking service. This process enables various functions such as initiating payments, accessing transaction details or processing refunds.

Integrating a payment API allows e-commerce businesses to efficiently handle transactions. Payment APIs streamline the payment process for businesses and customers, ensuring faster and more secure transactions.

For merchants, one of the key advantages of payment APIs is the automation of the payment process, leading to reduced time and resources required to maintain these systems.
